Do you like your DH when he drinks?

[saturdaywoe]

I don't drink.

DH is never shit faced but when he's had a few drinks you can tell. He's not aggressive etc just sloppy I guess.

I find him SO annoying when he's been drinking. Don't know why.

Is this normal?

I absolutely can't stand mine when he's had more than about a couple of glasses of wine. It's nearly ended our relationship on many occasions.

I'm gay but my fiancee is funny, sweet and very loving when she's had a drink so yes I do.

Cute and funny until pint number 4 then after that he's annoying. Last night he burst my eardrum my making a loud stupid noise in my ear at pint number 6. I told him to stop at number 4 but he didn't listen. He's in bed feeling sorry for himself today. He vomited in the garden. It's my birthday. I've barely seen him. He's not my favourite person right now.

Happy birthday fairgame, it's mine today too and it's also a bit shit. Do you have anything planned for today or can you go out and do something nice for yourself?

My DH rarely drinks but when he does he tends to monologue.
When I’ve picked him up after a night out he will spend the whole 20 minute journey home talking about something completely random without me saying a word.
I’m glad he only drinks a few times a year

This sounds like he drinks regularly so wth is he drinking that he vomits after 6 pints of it and has hangover he misses your birthday

No he rarely drinks that's why he can't hack it. He was drinking peroni. He's from a country where drinking alcohol is not the norm so he tried to keep up with us Brits and failed.

Happy birthday @RobertaFirmino

I'm quite happy chilling watching Netflix and drinking coffee.
Hope you have a nice day.

Happy Birthday @fairgame84 and @RobertaFirmino 🎂

My OH is funny, affectionate and chatty when tipsy but is pretty annoying when properly hammered. Luckily that’s rare; probably once every couple of years or so.

If he drinks lager, he gets argumentative. He doesn’t really like lager anyway so will only drink it if the bar/restaurant has a crap beer selection.

Oh god yes.
He talks and talks and talks. For HOURS. I can't bear it.

Drunk people when you’re sober are just tedious. It’s not a DH thing, it’s an all drunk people thing.

So annoying, he repeats himself, drives me mad.

Mine very rarely drinks but when he does he's adorable. He's silly, giggly and very funny. I can't stand drunk people (when I'm not) they actually scare me. Fortunately he only gets drunk every few years or so!

Mine gets really chatty (he is not usually very chatty) which I quite like as I'm always up for a chat. 😆

I've only ever seen him drink enough once that his behaviour noticeably changes, but he was hilarious.
As a man who's not excitable, quite serious in character, to see him actually be sloppy is funny.

Yeah, he seems the same but slightly more chatty.

I don’t like anybody drinking. I find it really triggering. I lose all respect for them slurring and being irritating.

My DH likes to tell me how to drive when he’s had a drink, so I usually end up telling him that next time, he can not drink and drive instead if he feels such a need to comment. It doesn’t stop him, he still comments every time and I want to thump him, although of course I don’t.

I don’t think you’re unusual.

My husband goes all giggly I find it hilarious, he does drink very often.

After a couple of drinks he’s great - life and soul of the party, great company etc. After too many drinks he’s an absolute pain in the arse 🤣 how many is “too many” depends on how many I’ve had at the time 🤣

There has been the odd occasion (probably 3/4x in the last 11 years and all pre-DC) where he has gone out with the guys and got far too carried away and drank like he’s still 19 🙄 on those nights I have genuinely hated him 😬😅 in no way abusive or anything, just completely bloody sloppy and useless! And he was a write-off for about 3 days after each.

If we're together at home he gets super chatty and needs to pee every 5 minutes (can't watch a film with him when he's drinking, he's constantly asking me to pause it, either so he can go for a pee or because he has Something To Say which goes on for hours ).

About half way through he gets v horny or v sentimental and the evening could go either way.

If we're out or in company he's great fun. Life and soul of the party. I guess i don't notice the constant loo breaks then

DH rarely drinks a lot but when he does the only noticeable change is that he keeps apologising over and over (he hasn't done anything to apologise for). That's a bit annoying to be fair but I'll take it over aggression / puking/ arrogance for sure.

up to 2 pints DH is quite funny, over 2pints DH thinks he is funny but is actually really really not, on the plus side its rare nowadays over 2 pints DH happens

I become very extroverted, bubbly and giggly when I drink but I can hold it down like a pro. My DH doesn't recognise his limits and will end up sick. We very rarely drink now so it's non issue for us.

Well yes, because he doesn't drink to excess, or to a state where it changes who he is.

No he’s a ball ache. He becomes quite dominant in conversations and I want to tell him to shut the fuck up 😂

I find everyone annoying when they're drunk, I get almost repulsed by them, even if they're being nice - my dad was (is?) a high-functioning alcoholic and I think it brings that up in me.

But as drunks go, DH is a lovely one. He just wants to listen to music and be silly. He also has a tendency to (try to) do housework drunk which is very endearing haha.
